This is a 5 hour CPD Course Understanding Frozen Shoulder and Adhesive Capsulitis in Clinical Practice has been completely rewritten and updated for 2026, providing manual therapists with a contemporary evidence-informed approach to assessment and management. If you have completed our previous Frozen Shoulder course, this fully rewritten 2026 edition may be considered a new course for professional development purposes. Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is one of the most common and challenging shoulder conditions encountered by manual therapy practitioners. Characterised by pain, progressive stiffness, and significant movement restriction, it can have a substantial impact on sleep, function, work, and quality of life. Designed for Remedial Massage Therapists, Myotherapists, Bowen Therapists, and other manual therapists, this course explores the current understanding of frozen shoulder, from anatomy and pathophysiology through to assessment, management, treatment evidence, and clinical decision-making. Particular attention is given to common treatment myths, the role of manual therapy and exercise, communication strategies, biopsychosocial influences, and the practical challenges clinicians face when supporting clients through recovery. By the end of the course, participants will have a contemporary understanding of frozen shoulder and greater confidence in assessing, educating, and managing clients using an evidence-informed approach. Online self-paced learning with certificate of completion.
